Rev. DR.. White gave at the Congrega-
tional church, Sunday evening last, the
first of series of lectures on Africa that
promise to be of great interest. The
speaker was introduced by Prof. Eaton,
president of the Young Mems Christian
association, for the benefit of which the
lectures are. In opening DR.. White spoke
of the size of the continent of Africa
then he told something about the various
explorations from the earliest times down
to the present, described its physical
conformation and its people, and in con-
cluson spoke at length on the events
which had led to the opening-up of thi,
vast region to civilization. He predicted
that within very few years it would be
one of the greatest markets of the world
Africa, in the speakers opinion, Offers
the best possible solution of our nationa
problem of dealing with the colored peo
pie in the South; and they have a grea
mission before them in carrying Christi
anity and civilization to their brethren il
the clark continent. The next lecture
will be delivered at the Congregations
church on Sunday evening next, and w
advise all who can to be present.
